This is the one you or the coach has been spamming all over threads.

Someone asked if this is the guy from family over fame but you didnt answer.

+1.
Also, a combined tryout for grades 6-10? LOL!

Its not really a "tryout" because small fry like this guy take everyone who can pay, and figure out the teams later. So your kid "made" the team, and its one team boys and girls grades 3-6 somehow suspiciously playing in 5th grade leagues, even though some kids are overage. Or some similiar sketchiness such as just practicing and never actually playing games even though your fee is supposed to cover tournaments.

If it is, I watched that guy scream at kids for an hour after a game was over. That's why I'm also curious about the coaching thread, unfortunately seen way more bad than good in this area.

No, I’m not the coach-like I mentioned, my son is on the 7th grade team and I know they are looking for a couple extra players. I have nothing to do with family over fame and neither does my son’s team.

I’m not on this forum every day (I just recently came across it when I was researching schools for one of my other kids) so I didn’t see your question.

What are the best programs? What are the next level down from best? We have some ideas for other parents and coaches of course but would to get other feedback.

Team Notorious BIG has a pretty good team. Coach Mo is great with getting kids ready for that HS level as he’s a FCPS HS coach currently.

Is he the same Coach Mo who used to coach for FoF?

No. He’s never coached for that team.

If you have any questions you can contact the team. I was simply putting it out because I know they’re looking for a couple extra players. I didn’t think it would come across as sketchy since they actually do go to tournaments. It is a newer team so maybe that why you haven’t seen them around..? They don’t have any girls on their team but had some that tried out last season and I over heard the coaches mention to their parents they didn’t get enough girls come try out to form a team. Again. If you think it’s sketchy go ahead and contact them instead of making it seem like something it’s not. Smh

What's the point of a one hour combined tryout for grades 6-10?

You want kids to pay and drive all over the east coast to sit on your bench?

We are actually looking for players. Some dropped last minute. Lots of maneuvering going on in the area with teams.

You're assuming that kids good enough to play up and down the east coast aren't already on teams?

You might get more takers if you stayed local. People don't want to drive all over the place.
